Hey! It’s Victoria!
Eleanor’s little sister and Larry’s former girlfriend. Star of “The Importance of Being Eleanor (at least in her mind)!”
Just a quick recap: Eleanor shoved Victoria through the discombobulationotron a while back. Larry, Nelson and Toivo think it was to make her a vampire. Then (they thought) she’d come back and make Eleanor a vampire so she could live forever.
Crazy, huh. Well, Victoria’s here, so nothing crazy or surprising could possibly happen. I mean, really.
So, I think (and I know I say this every time) that the next strip won’t take three weeks to show up. I’ve been on a writing roll lately, so, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go get the next one started.
She pulls off a necktie really well. That needs to come back as a unisex fashion accessory.
It was big in the 80s. I agree, it looks good on everybody.
Edison might not be happy about this, especially after her recent insecurity problems.
Since Vicky isn’t as sharp as Eleanor (few humans are), Edison would win in the battle of wits. On the other hand, Victoria has mastered the art of supreme indifference, so she might come out ahead.
We’ll just have to wait and see…
The mouse-over text matches my thoughts closely. And, THAT is a beanie. Watch caps are NOT beanies.
It’s a Brownie Beanie, Baby!
Dum, dum ,duuuummm!
Awaiting with ‘bated breath!
Not to give anything away, but there might be a surprise or two in store…
Have I mentioned how happy I am to see you updating lately?
Not as happy as I am to be back! Man, I’m out of practice. But it’s so great to see all of you!
Did I mention that I have the best commenters in the world?
I thought I was on a writing roll once. Turned out to be a Kaiser that’d gone stale.
At yeast you weren’t loafing.
Just found out Groovy was back updating. New ink work for me to be jealous of. Great to see you back at it.
Great to be back, my friend! Now let’s see more SWAMOW (did I spell that right?)!
Aww, damn! Well, she doesn’t look like a vampire… She’s about to bite deep into the neck of the status quo, though. How’s Eleanor going to react? (like she didn’t know what was about to happen) How’s Victoria feel about her little shove? What’s Larry going to do when he picks his jaw up off the floor? How blind, stinking drunk is Edison going to have to get to deal with all this?
Oh, man!
Eleanor may be disappointed if Victoria isn’t either a) a vampire, or b) coming from a world that can fix her (alleged) brain tumor and make her live forever. Maybe
Depending on her situation in the new world, Victoria could be forgiving for Eleanor’s little shove. Maybe.
Larry’s gonna want a hug, at least. Definitely.
Edison? She probably won’t get terribly drunk (at first). She’ll need to keep her wits about her. It all depends on how Victoria approaches this. Does she want Larry back?
And don’t forget that Stephanie has a say in all this. What’s her take on the situation? She loves Larry and Edison, and she would do anything to keep from having her “family” broken up.
LARRY NO!!! What will happen now?! He might want to start running now because Edison is going to chase him down and let him have it! Or she might just clobber Victoria. Or both?
Ah, we shall see what we shall see. Edison will be wary around her at first. Even if Vicky says she doesn’t want to steal him away. Edison won’t trust her, of course. Who wouldn’t want to steal Larry for themselves?
Plus, remember who her sister is.
Yay!
Yay too!
Every day! I checked EVERY DAMN DAY. For a LONGGGG friggin’ time.
And then I missed this for FIVE DAYS!!!!????!! Double-ewe, Tee, Eff.
Sigh. I”m so happy to see this, I could cry. Even though I’m not all that happy to see Victoria. I really hope your roll rocks you, Charlie – we all want MOAR! But we’re patient. Really. (Damn that dratted tail tip twitch.)
He-hee!
Nice to see you, Tru!
Well, you patience may have paid off. The next strip is half inked and should go up tomorrow night (fingers crossed).
Not happy to see Victoria? Whatever do you mean? This could be the answer to everyone’s (well, Eleanor’s, but really, who else matters, right?) prayers?
What could possibly go wrong?
